"Once again you decide to boo an honest man"

Chris Jericho: "Over the last week I've noticed a real difference in the way that people have been looking at me, in the way they've been treating me - on the streets, in the airport, all around. And they don't have to say anything because I've been seeing it in their eyes. People are wondering: 'Jericho, how did you do what you did to Shawn Michaels? How could you do that? How can you live with yourself?' If you didn't see what I did, you'll be seeing it right now:

And here we are with deja vu all over again. Once again you decide to boo an honest man. I never lied to any of you. I always did the right thing and you insist on insulting me and catcalling me - and I'm done with it. That's why what happened to Shawn Michaels last week wasn't my fault. [deutet wahllos ins Publikum] It was your fault. And it was your fault. And it was your fault. And it was your fault. And it was your fault. And it was your fault. It's all your faults.

When I came back to the WWE last November, I came back to save us. There's something I've realized over the last couple of months: You people don't wanna be saved. You don't DESERVE to be saved. No, you don't. People connect with who they like and it's obvious by your cheers that you connect with a backstabbing hypocrite like Shawn Michaels. So from now on, I'm here to save ME from all of you. I know they say: Jericho, you've changed. Uh-uh, I haven't changed, I'm still the same. I'm still one of the greatest performers in WWE history. I'm still a hero, an idol to millions and I can still look into my eyes in the mirror in the morning with a clear conscience. Can you?

It's all of you that have changed by becoming morally corrupt and it's pathetic. It's true. With fans like you, who needs enemies? I don't need you to cheer for me anymore, I don't want you to cheer for me anymore - because your actions say it all. Shawn Michaels says he'll do whatever it takes to get ahead and you cheer him. When I did the VERY SAME thing last week, you booed me. You ostracized me. You turned on me. I didn't do what I did to Shawn for personal reasons. I did it because all of you forced me to. And now, I'm punishing Shawn Michaels for your sins. Shawn told the truth, when he said that blood was on his hands. And how ironic is it now that Shawn's blood is on YOUR hands? Can you live with yourselves? Huh? Can Shawn live with himself?

As a matter of fact I bet you wish that Shawn would come here right now and face me, don't you? You wish Shawn would come out here and kick me out of this ring and get revenge. Well you know what? So do I. I want Shawn Michaels to come out here right now. I demand that Shawn Michaels come out here right now. Come on, help him: HBK! HBK! HBK! Come on! Come on, Michaels! They're cheering for you: The liars, the cheaters. Come on!

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think Shawn Michaels is gonna come out here tonight. Cause he's a coward. He's a worm. He's a liar. He's a pathetic, miserable excuse for a human being.
